Website Consultancy
There are a huge number of consultants out there who can help you with your website......usually at a huge price. Frequently the person who pitches their advice to you is not the person who ends up working on your site and you can spend a frustrating amount of time and money endeavouring to achieve a higher conversion and not succeeding.
There are often specific reasons why your website does not convert that may not be instantly apparent to you, such as 'put off's' through the buying path. Basic usability. SEO, home page layout, your pictures, content, and many more. Items where there are 'best practice' industry standards that may not have been followed and that are relatively simple to fix.
This is about the smallest consultancy you will find - a one man band - but with a wealth of experience through reviewing over 2,500 websites for both my books and www.thesiteguide.com, working extensively with small retailers to help them improve their conversion rates, and with much larger retailers as well.
Starting with the basic Website Review I can spot very quickly why your site may not be functioning as you would like, and then help you rectify any problems, working closely with you and, if you wish, your developer.

'The team here at Nordic House have been absolutely delighted with the way we have been looked after by Patricia's consultancy. Patricia helped us with our listing for the Site guide and by writing some much needed copy for our website. Very professional, an excellent communicator, Patricia clearly knows her subject. She has been extremely helpful above and beyond the call of duty! A pleasure to do business with and frankly... like a breath of fresh air’ Sandie Wallman – Nordic House – www.nordichouse.co.uk
‘Patricia Davidson is one of a rare breed of consultants that not only provides high level professional input but backs it up with practical implementation garnered from years of hands-on management experience. Her ability to understand the key drivers of a business (from multiple disciplines: creative, site architecture, marketing communications, customer acquisition, CRM, sales, operations, etc...) and then focus on what really matters has helped deliver a positive ROI on the projects she has worked on with us. Patricia is a no-nonsense operator, who cuts to the chase and speaks her mind, which always results in a more productive relationship with clients and their partners. She also has an ability to embrace a business and become one of the operational team, thinking and talking like the business owner. I can’t think of a more qualified person to help small and medium sized e-tailers navigate the challenges of growing their business, especially at such difficult economic times.’
